Introduction to Christianity
Christianity is the general name of all sects that take Jesus Christ as their savior, also known as Christianity. Christianity, Buddhism and Islam are called the three major religions. The word "Christianity" is confused when it is used in Chinese academic circles, and it can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Christianity in a broad sense refers to all sects that believe in Jesus Christ as their savior, including Roman Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, Protestantism and other small sects. In English, Christianity in a narrow sense refers to Protestantism.
Due to historical reasons, China people have long been used to calling Protestantism Christianity. Protestant churches in China never call themselves Protestants, but only Christianity or Jesus, while Roman Catholic Church is called Catholicism and Orthodox Church is called Orthodox Church. In order to solve this chaotic situation, Christianity in a broad sense is called "Christianity" to distinguish it from Christianity in a narrow sense, which refers specifically to Protestantism. This usage is now gradually accepted by scholars, calling Christianity in a broad sense "Christian religion", and the word "Christianity" refers specifically to Protestantism.
